SPE 300 Wk 4 – Teach an Adapted Lesson

In order to address different learning styles and meet the needs of exceptional learners in your classroom, it is necessary to understand how to adapt lesson plans. The field experience in this course provides you an opportunity to practice this skill by collaborating with a cooperating teacher to select, adapt, and teach a lesson.

Refer to your Wk 2 Teacher Conference and the lesson you chose during your meeting.

Also refer to the way in which you adapted that same lesson in the Wk 3 Lesson Review and Adaptation assignment to prepare for this field experience.

Teach the adapted lesson in a small group or to an individual in a one-on-one setting.

Consider using various methods of delivery (through technology, oral explanations, etc.) that promote expressive and receptive communication skill reinforcement, meet the needs of the exceptionalities, and ensure student engagement.

Write a 350- to 525-word reflection of your teaching experience that addresses the following:

• Feedback from cooperating teacher and stated the teachers last name
• Appropriateness of adaptations to exceptional learners
• What went well and what did not
• What changes you would make
• What you changed in your lesson plan from feedback reviewed for the week three adapted lesson review assignment
• You submitted the lesson plan that you adapted and taught.

Submit your assignment.
